Chick troubles swallowing - 4 day old

[DoeAndGander]

4 days old troubles swallowing- please see video. Panting whether under heat plate or not. Room is about 75-80 degrees. I don’t see anything in her throat. Any insight? Has probiotic in water. Gave nutri-drench a little bit ago hoping it will help perk her up.

It won’t allow me to upload video. I’ll try to figure it out. She’s extremely uncomfortable

Trying mashed hard boiled egg as well. Just saw her go to the bathroom. That’s a plus!

Hay, so first of all if you could tell me what the chick has been eating? Also if you could get a thermometer and see what the temperatures is under you heat plate and inside to coop. Are any of your other chicks showing any of the same symptoms?

unmedicated starter. I will grab thermometer. Here is pic of plate... back down front higher. All other chicks are doing great. 5 others but two of them are two weeks older. I picked them all up Friday and she’s the smallest and always been a little “off”

72 degrees in brooder. Brooder is currently in the house. How exactly do I check temp under plate? Where do I put thermometer to measure? I have an infrared thermometer, will that help?
